so here he is - the day before FIVE!

Ok first of all if there is a tree around I can not keep him out it, hence the funny look. He was pretty proud of himself for getting in the tree. Like the hoodie look too hey ;) Well I am just glad that he had something on his head since it was kinda cool out. Here he is, the day before five :D



so what on earth do you think that goofy look if for? I think maybe I take too many pictures of him lol.

Spring Chill ;)

so really just 10 minutes before she was nothig but pouts and frowns. I tell you this girl will get frown lines before she is 20 lol. She wears her mood on her face and there are times when it seems it is all frowns. Who knew an almost seven yer old girl could be so fickle. But when she shines - she really does :D (and look at all of her baby teeth, she is so imaptient to lose even one, just one, and she would be happy.)

look ma - no wheels!

Except wouldn't you know it I never even took pictures! Today we took the training wheels off of Colton's and Ashlin's bikes! Yay. Of course go figure, it wasn't even me who convinved them. I figured they were not ready yet, (something like don't let my baby get hurt) and haven't even tried to take them off. Then yesterday we were at Sandra's and she was like oyu gotta get those training wheels off, they are so ready! Well I guess she was right lol. Colton did so well, he had one fall and a little teeny scrape, and that was it. Boy he can sure fly! Ashlin's took a lot longer to get her wheels off, and a tune up. She was way more nervous about it, and I had to hold onto her for a bit. Of course she was getting nervous and not pedaling and that can make you fall anyways. But the good news is they both have the hang of it! It is a bit scary to watch Colton because he bobs or something, goes like crazy and totally looks like he is going to crash, but doesn't. Talk about stressful. Ashlin is much more steady and even which makes me a bit less stressed lol. I also got my exercise by running with them as they were flying down the street, next time I need to remember to wear my sports bra! I am thinking that maybe I will do this a few times a week instead of the treadmill :D I bet the kids would love it too.

Such a mommy moment hey. On one hand I am sad they are getting so big, and not my little babies anymore. But even more than that, they did so great today!

big sigh here.....

You ever notice I go in stages? I guess right now would be a quiet stage, keep to myself kinda stage. I think part of it the fact I such a homebody, and I don't even live an exciting town. I guess I could tell you all about the river, it went up a few feet due to the rain. Isn't that exciting.

Or the fact I am a bit stressing out that I got a notice from Ashlin's teacher, she has booked me for a 30 minute parent/teacher conference. Like WTF could she want to talk to me for 30 minutes about. So of course my mind is wandering and imaging all the things she might say, and nothing so far has been good.

Rob and I are thinking of going to the movies tomorrow, he wants to see 300. (So do I but for different reasons lol) That means a round trip of about 5 hours driving, good thing I love my car :D

But I have been scrapping :D Would you like to see, if you haven't already.







and I think I might do a few more lol.

Have a great night everyone!!!

Meet Mr. I am FIVE!

So here he is with his big a$$ bike helmet. Now that is love hey, actually so far he has not complained about how big the helmet is. I do think he might be ready for a more boyish helmet soon though. I just love this pic, aside from the helmet, since it caught his eyes so well.



And here is typical Colton! If it is a puddle he is so there. Water or sand is no match for him I tell ya!



His birthday party is tomorrow at 11:00 am and I keep forgetting to order the cake! Ack My mom says she will bake one but they always turn out so wrong. Like the year we did a Wiggles red car cake. It was pink and looked like a blob. So we are thinking Dairy Queen for this party. I just hope that they have something suitable!

Wish me luck :D
